You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Here's another one: someone's made an interactive map showing all the world's territorial disputes: [link]

The top comment states: "Unfortunately, the resolution isn’t high enough to zoom in on the red dot in Southern Ontario where Chad keeps moving his fucking stapler to my side of the cubicle."

Reading the link, what does not kill a tardigrade literally makes it stronger?

I'm pretty sure the tardigrade was either a monster in Pan's Labyrinth or Doctor Who. And considering the name . . .

I was expecting it to be a program to incorporate Doctor Who in teaching.

Speculatively. I would add numerous caveats to that though. (Not least being, I would assume that the majority of foreign genes that make it into a tardigrade will prove to be neutral or detrimental to its odds of survival. Just as with internal genetic mutations. But in terms of the evolving genome rather than an individual tardigrade, maybe?)

I think it's the mark you get on your assignment if it's late.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Randall Munroe is trying to give me carpal tunnel. Damn him.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Someone save me from Christmas Carol tech rehearsals!

Are there no workhouses? Are there no prisons?

We opened Sunday and we start tech on Twist Your Dickens on Tuesday.

ION, I was not thrilled to learn that we'll have armed security at my workplace for the next few days.
